Sacramento being given almost free choice of Phoenix's roster and walking away with Brandon Knight and Project Big Men and a protected pick is the platonic ideal of a Vlade Divac Trade.

I haven't eaten pizza in two months, because I re enlisted in the War on Carbs for 2017. I'm afraid of watching the Kings game because I know I'm gonna see a Pizza Guys commercial, and because Boogie is probably slightly mad after last night and may foul out all the Rockets bigs in 5 minutes. Hoping for another one of those Nene games where he seems to take out all his frustration over his injuries out by dunking and scoring 20

Rick posted:

It's also a lot better than Staples which is just about as generic as it gets if you don't go to the rich person. Of course there's like a whole world of awesome food outside of Staples that it really isn't fair to expect Phoenix to match.

This is what offends me so deeply about the Toyota Center. I think we determined that a couple arenas are run by Landry's or other garbage rear end catering companies and that's why they serve overcooked burgers instead of good local foods, not sure if Staples is on that list.

Bill Simmons is now also telling LeBron to shut up because his team is already good enough. I was driving and listening to the radio for like the only time ever last week and Le batard was saying how it's interesting how fans always say their team needs to add some help, but if a player ever says it they all get pissed at the player for being ungrateful. I think he's actually right
I don't see how anyone could say that's wrong.

"January marks the first time that LeBron James has a losing record in a calendar month (minimum 10 games) since February 2006."

Lebron has never given less of a gently caress about the eastern conference

The possibility of the Cavaliers getting the 1 seed with less than fifty wins is very intriguing. The reality and concept of teams with losing records going to the playoffs gets dumber ever year.

Pretty great Bulls conspiracy theory courtesy of Reddit that has me all 'I WANT TO BELIEVE'

quote:

Holy poo poo. Please tell me someone is watching Mike and Mike on ESPN. Ryen Russillo* basically came on the show and said that Jimmy Butler and the Bulls FO are at odds and thats why there are so many Jimmy to Celtics rumors. Russillo* said basically that before Jimmy was a restricted free agent after his 3rd year he was averaging 13 ppg and the bulls FO offered him a 4 yr/44 mil extension to which Jimmy declined. The Bulls FO then told him that'd they'd start TONY SNELL over him and give SNELL jimmy's minutes and give Jimmy the minutes Snell got off the bench to hurt his numbers and crash his value in the upcoming free agency. Thibs caught wind of this and basically said "gently caress that, I'm starting Jimmy" and Jimmy averaged 20ppg and got cashed out. This is why Jimmy and Thibs are so close, because Thibs had his back and this is also supposedly one of the reasons why Thibs and the FO had issues. So now Jimmy has this distrust for the Bulls FO and also distrusts Fred Hoiberg* because Jimmy sees Fred as an extension of the FO. And then Wade came over and Jimmy basically told Wade everything that happened and wade sympathized with him because of all the gently caress poo poo he dealt with in MIA which adds to why Jimmy and Wade are so close
Also Russillo* said he trusts this source that told him all that very much
Edit: spelling errors and poo poo

Like, the fact that the Cavs locked up the guys they did doesn't mean it makes sense to just cruise through the season with an open roster spot while playing your 32-year-old superstar the most minutes in the NBA.

He's not leading in total minutes but he's in trouble. It's getting more unrealistic for him to expect to go to the finals every year even in the sad EC.

That would be great because half the teams in the league have cap space the year he's a free agent, too.

I know that the Philly Fan Policy is to pretend everyone but the guys they drafted are busts but Devin Booker is going to be a star like next year if he isn't already, and the flaws in his game that have emerged over this season would be suddenly sort of meaingless if he wasn't getting double teamed half the night by smart teams anymore. If the Suns can do that deal without losing Bledsoe they're suddenly fairly good.
